Pricing & Margin Optimisation Manager

We're looking for an ambitious Pricing & Margin Optimisation Manager to join a successful, growing business where your expertise will directly shape commercial performance.

If you enjoy turning numbers into meaningful business improvements, this could be the perfect opportunity.

The Opportunity

You'll analyse customer behaviour, market trends and pricing performance, providing valuable insights that help drive revenue growth and commercial success.

This is a highly visible role where your recommendations will have a genuine impact on business performance.

What You'll Be Doing

• Taking ownership of customer and product pricing across the business.

• Developing dynamic pricing strategies that maximise profitability.

• Analysing customer buying behaviour, market trends and price performance.

• Identifying opportunities to improve margins and reduce margin leakage.

• Working closely with the Sales team to create effective pricing structures, discount frameworks and commercial guidelines.

• Producing meaningful commercial insights that support better business decisions.

• Building and maintaining pricing models using Excel, ERP systems and Power BI.

• Monitoring pricing performance and implementing corrective actions where required.

• Supporting new product launches with commercially competitive pricing strategies.

• Reviewing product ranges and identifying opportunities to improve product mix and profitability.

• Helping segment customers to improve pricing strategies and customer value.

Also with:

• Previous experience within Pricing, Commercial Analysis, Category Management or Commercial Finance.

• Advanced Excel skills with experience creating pricing or financial models.

• Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.

• The confidence to challenge existing processes and influence commercial decisions.

• Experience working with ERP systems and business intelligence tools (Power BI would be advantageous).

• Experience managing large product ranges or SKU-heavy environments would be beneficial.

Why Join?

This is an exciting opportunity to join a business where your work genuinely makes a difference.

You'll enjoy:

• A commercially focused role with real influence across the business.

• The opportunity to shape pricing strategy and improve company profitability.

• A collaborative environment where your ideas are valued.

• Exposure to senior leadership and cross-functional decision making.
